1
I've got a question.
2
One that I wanted to ask you last time, but we didn't have time to get to it.
3
And one that really piggybacks off of you who were just talking about how there's different ways to explore the world.
4
One of them being reading.
5
And I think that's one very, very important and timeless way of exploring the world.
6
What do you think about this phenomenon?
7
Less people are reading.
8
Like, it feels like almost nobody is reading per capita.
9
What do you make of that?
10
Do you see that as an existential crisis?
11
no what do you make of it no no well reading
12
has always reading for pleasure has always been a minority occupation like most people don't read for pleasure
13
of the people who read for pleasure only a small proportion
14
by books of the people who buy books only a small proportion by difficult books it's a specialty market
15
and and I don't I don't think that's changing what I do see happening though is
16
that that is being expanded in surprising ways by such things as YouTube videos
17
and podcasts so you find you can find X the value
18
and something like
19
that is just as valuable something you could possibly find in a book well I think
20
that the two technologies have their advantages and disadvantages the thing about a book
21
that you can't get from a discussion is
22
that a book is a book is like a portrait as opposed to a photograph
23
you know photograph it's click that's that a portrait you layer on
24
and layer on and layer on
25
and work over on for weeks you still have the same single image
26
but there's this depth to it and a book enables you to think
27
and then rethink and think and then rethink and
28
so you can go deeper in a book than you can I would say in any other medium
29
but that doesn't mean you can't go deep in a podcast
30
and it doesn't mean that there's no educational utility in in in podcasts
31
Plus, there's audiobooks, right?
32
And people are listening to those like mad.
33
That was another question.
34
Do you think that audiobooks are just as valuable as books?
35
Oh, sure.
36
Just as good.
37
Well, the thing is, if you can really read, you can read way faster than you can listen.
38
So reading is more effective.
39
Except that, and this is what's cool about podcasts, and what's game -changing about them, I would say, is we can't read while you're driving.
40
Yeah.
41
You can't read while you're doing the dishes or exercising.
42
And so all of a sudden, with the podcast world, people have all this time that was used maybe listening to music, which is fine, right?
43
But lots of people now are listening to, like, difficult podcasts.
44
Yeah, educational.
45
Yes, yes.
46
And long, detailed discussions about political issues that was never possible with television or even with radio, for that matter.
47
So, and, you know, people say, well, young people have a fragmented attention span.
48
It's like, well, yeah, but Joe Rogan does three -hour podcasts, and those do just fine, and your podcast is how long usually?
49
Two hours, generally.
50
Right, so that's not for a fragmented attention.
51
Sure.
52
So, no, I think it's good.
53
You're absolutely right.
54
I think the number one person who listens to this podcast in general are people who are occupied doing something else.
55
Yep, yep.
56
And I think you're right.
57
That's really valuable to be able to utilize that space.
58
Definitely, definitely.
59
It's found time.
60
And so that's why the podcast market I think is exploded.
61
It's like oh look I can make use of commuters
62
You know people spend thousands of dollars a month in their time commuting
63
It's like poof all of a sudden you can make that you can you can take a university degree while you're commuting
64
Essentially, you know in terms of the knowledge that you can attain
65
So I'm not pessimistic about that at all
66
And also the way that you have been using YouTube with your content is
67
kind of amazing it's yeah the way
68
that there's hundreds of thousands of views on your lectures
69
and yeah and they're difficult i mean they're difficult like they stretch they push me
70
when i'm lecturing and they're long that's right
71
and there's a big market for there's a big market for high quality educational material so
72
or demanding educational material let's say one of the brilliant things you've done is you you market yourself really well
73
and to the new media i think were your contemporaries weren't weren't doing
74
that right and so you really broke new ground with that
75
and i mean it's paid dividends for you obviously yeah well it's part of my insane curiosity you know
76
and i've always learned i've knew well it's this it's this same thing
77
we were talking about 10 minutes ago it's like i've done a lot of different things in my life
78
and i've always felt like a complete idiot when i started doing them
79
because that's why carl jung said for example
80
that the fool is the precursor to the savior you have to be willing to be a fool to advance because
81
when you first move in your new direction what the hell do you know
82
you're just a bumbling dimwit you know but you won't be
83
that for long that's the thing whereas
84
if you stay in your little safe place your little safe space let's say
85
then well nothing well something will get you sooner
86
or later you can bloody well be sure of that
87
but temporarily you're safe well that's not helpful and so
88
when I started you know it started
89
when I started talking to journalists they would phone me
90
and I would talk to them and most of my colleagues would
91
they'd usually say something dismissive about journalists like well they always get
92
it wrong like well first of all there's no they and
93
and what makes you think you're important enough to pay attention to anyways
94
and if they get it wrong maybe it's
95
because you didn't explain it very well and the journalists would call
96
and I talked to them and well then they'd offer me an opportunity
97
so I got an opportunity to go on a TV show
98
and I thought oh that's interesting I'll go do that and
99
so I did that it worked pretty well
100
and then I got an opportunity to do some more
101
and then I was on a regular on a on a TV panel news show in Ontario
102
and then I got this little 13 part series
103
that they made out of my courses and and started doing public lectures
104
and those all worked and then I thought oh well what the hell would happen
105
if I put these on YouTube there seems to be a market for them
106
but it was pretty amateurish you think
107
that whole journey started by just taking the call from
108
that first journal oh sure
109
but taking it in a particular way it was the same way
110
that we're having this conversation i thought well journalist has a question
111
i'll i'm not doing anything expedient i'm not saying well you know i'm i'm hoping that
112
that something will come out come of this i didn't have a specified goal in mind
113
i thought let's have a conversation
114
and let the chips fall where they will yeah yeah and
115
so and one of the things that distinguishes me i would say from many of my colleagues, and perhaps from many people,
116
is that generally when someone comes along and says, well, would you like to do this?
117
I'd say, okay, let's give it a try.
118
And I don't expect that I'm going to be particularly good at it.
119
How would I be?
120
I'm certainly not as good at it as I'm going to be, that's for sure.
121
Because obviously when you first start something, you're just not that good at it
122
but you know like i felt like a fool when i
123
when i first started to practice as a therapist or
124
when i first started to lecture
125
when i first started to work as a business consultant
126
when i was designing software
127
when i was going on you know starting to do media events
128
it's like what the hell do i know
129
i don't know how to do this it's like whatever man it's like move ahead move ahead
130
when you first uploaded to youtube yeah yeah well i mean
131
you know the channel kind of limped along for a
132
while i mean it depends on how you measure it but And I mean, when I really sat up and paid attention was in April,
133
2016, the views hit the million mark.
134
And I thought, million, eh?
135
What does that mean?
136
I really thought about it.
137
I thought, a million's a lot.
138
If I sold a million books, it's like, that's when you do the little touchdown dance, right?
139
At the end of the field, because that just doesn't happen.
140
And I'd never write a scientific paper that had a million views.
141
That just never happens, ever, not once right then you think well
142
if you talk to 50 stadiums full of 20 000 people you'd think that's
143
noticeable right that's noticeable i thought million
144
and people were watching the lectures like their long lectures
145
they were watching it wasn't just 30 seconds they were in there like some people would browse
146
and pop out but lots of them were watching them right to the end and
147
so i thought all right what the hell is this youtube thing anyways what is this it's not cute cat videos
148
it's and then I thought oh I get it I see what it is
149
it's like the it's like the invention of the printing press it's that big for the first time in human history
150
the spoken word
151
has as large a reach
152
and as long a duration as a book right that's never happened period ever it's a great analogy it's amazing
153
and that just blew me away I thought oh this is a Gutenberg revolution this is a big deal
154
We'll see you next time.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
